Just saw this on push square, such a sickner. Really wanted to see him do a DMC6
I wish him the best in his future though.

We have at least over a dozen possible candidates. My personal bet is on Junya Kumabe, he was the lead of 5SE and Vergil.

best of luck, itsuno-san.

If Resident Evil survived losing Shinji Mikami, then I'm sure that DMC can carry on without Itsuno.

That was never going to be an option. Itsuno said it many times, 5 was his last DMC game. He was handing over the franchise to a new team and hoped they'd do well. In fact, he was going to leave Capcom after DmC and they just wanted him to stay so they let him make whatever he wanted so he made DMC5 and Dragon's Dogma 2. This was his farewell tour and he made no secret about it.
What is this for? Lead artist is Shinji Mikami? The Shinji Mikami?We have at least over a dozen possible candidates. My personal bet is on Junya Kumabe, he was the lead of 5SE and Vergil.

I wonder will he leave the action genre in general too, or is it just a downscale as he winds down in life to make smaller games

he joked about doing a gardening game once.
"weeds may cry" should be the tagline.

It's likely not *the* Shinji Mikami that was lead artist for 5 but someone who shares the same name, otherwise that person's profile would link to Tango Gameworks productions and not strictly Capcom ventures circa the mid 2000s.
